I tried to telnet but strangely I am getting an authentication error.
What I have done is:
telnet mail.mydomain.org 110
Trying (ip address)...
Connected to mail.mydomain.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version 3.1.2) at ns.whatever.com starting.
user john
+OK Password required for steve.
pass john
-ERR [AUTH] Password supplied for "john" is incorrect.
+OK Pop server at ns.whatever.com signing off.
Connection closed by foreign host.
The email user is email@hidden
The password is john
This is 100% sure
But I always get the authentication error.
When setting up john's account, there is no authentication error. It is
trying to download 13 email but they are too big and it is taking ages.
The first one finished downloading by having a look at the activity
window in Mail but it does not appear in the inbox. In the activity
window there is a second line saying "Routing messages" Evaluating
messages 1 of 1. And the bar on the right is like searching for
something, it is not progressing.
I need to delete these emails.
Any idea?
Thanks for all the previous posts and future in advance.

If it's in the Inbox and you have POP3 enabled, just login and issue
POP commands to the server.
open terminal
telnet mail.yourhost.com 110
user username
pass password
list
retr <messaage ID #> (to take a look at the message and make sure it's
the correct one)
dele <message ID #>
quit
That should do it..
Quick and painless.

Hi all,
I am using Mac OS X Server 10.2
One of the network users has got problems with his email account.
First of all when he logs in and is able to open the Mail application
(most of the times it just quits) he selects messages in the inbox
and instead of the content of the email he gets the following:
"The message from (whoever) concerning (subject) has not been
downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in
order to download it"
The account is online and it is trying to fetch email but it is stack
there saying "Fetching 1 of 13 emails: subject of the email"
I took the Mail folder for this user and configure al the settings in
a local account. I can access all the content of emails in the inbox
but the "Fetching 1 of 13 emails: subject of the email" is still
there.
So emails cannot be sent or received.
How can I delete this email that is trying to be downloaded but is
blocking the whole mailbox for this user?
Thanks in advance
John
